Use isql to perform a quick test. Source SYBASE.csh. Then, use isql to connect to servers:
At the command prompt, enter:
isql -Usa -Ppassword -Sserver_name
where server_name is the Adaptive Server name.
The command prompt is displayed if the login is successful.
To display the Adaptive Server version number, enter:
1> select @@version 2> go
Adaptive Server’s version number is displayed. The output should show Adaptive Server at version 12.5.4.
If you encounter errors, see the Troubleshooting Guide.
Alternatively, start dsedit.
From the Windows task bar, select Start | Programs | Sybase | dsedit.
Open the Directory Services window by clicking OK.
Highlight servername (the name of the server you want to test).
From the Server Option drop-down menu, select Ping.
A successful connection returns the message that the connection succeeded.
